Frequently Asked Questions

Why has Etihad Airways launched a new baggage policy?

Why has Etihad Airways launched a new baggage policy?

During the development of Fare Choices it became clear that our baggage policy was no longer aligned with the needs of our guests. This launch allows us to extend the ‘Piece concept’ (already in place for flights to and from the US and Canada) to more markets. This is now the most popular policy for airlines globally because it is easier for customers to understand. Instead of weight, the airline offers a number of bags, each with a maximum weight of 23kg or 32kg each.

For Etihad, the other major advantage is alignment with the Etihad Airways Partner airlines. Most use the Piece Concept, and by matching their strategy we are able to take another step on the path to offering genuinely seamless travel across the group.

When did Etihad Airways launch the new baggage policy?

As of 1 June 2017, we updated and simplified some of our policies
to make your journey even more enjoyable. Travelling with your musical
instruments, golf clubs or bikes has never been easier! We’ve also updated our
policy around the carriage of falcons in the cabin to make the booking process
fast and transparent.

Fare ChoicesOn 14 September 2015, we introduced our new Fare Choices baggage policy rules. All bookings ticketed on or after 14
September 2015 and prior to 1 June 2017 will follow these baggage rules.

If you booked your ticket on or after 1 June 2017, please, check
your ticket and refer to our website to understand your exact baggage
allowances. Be mindful that your cabin baggage must not exceed the maximum
limits. Need to carry more bags? Buy your additional excess baggage online
with 20% discount!

Bookings ticketed before 14 September 2015 will adhere to the old policies.

policy:

an Economy Deal ticket, your allowance is one bag of 23kg. If
